Gantt used to be worth reading. Back when he still covered the team he would at least be professional. He may not of been a fan, but at least he was honest about it. And it didn't interfer with his writing.

Now... He is a lame azz troll. No insight or information. Just hate and incoherence.Taken for what it is, he is humorous and entertaining. But then again I find most trolls funny.

Depends on which Panther team shows up on whether we win or not. The team that is improving and playing with passion and smarts can beat the horsese. Limit the mistakes and we win. Just that simple and plain.

I don't buy into the coach with a vendetta thing. So what, is he going to game plan extra hard? Clap more vigorously? Is he going to make sure that he throws the challenge flag with a perfect spiral?

At the end of the day the 45 guys who put on pads on Sunday are going to be the deciding factor as to a win or a loss. John may want this win more than others but what can he really do to "show Jerry"? His best performance on Sunday will be virtually indistinguishable from about 20 other head coaches on that day.

I suppose the coaches could have started game planning for this specific game earlier than others. Though I think the coach with a vendetta thing might work in a way to where the players want to go out there and play hard to get their coach the win and to not be shown up by the previous employer/guy whom you replaced.

I hope Peyton did talk to Eli about our defense. If he did, the conversation went like this:

Peyton: "Hey Eli, I'm calling you hands free from this sweet Buick I got for freezies! So I wanted to see if you could hook me up with some inside info on playing against the Panthers defense this week?"

Eli: "Sure thing big bro. So they have no pass rush, you can sit in the pocket all day long and not have to worry about a damn thing. Go ahead and send Thomas and Decker on those deep routes, because their dline is poo. Their best corner is Chris Gamble, so make sure you attack Norman, he's the tall, quiet one on the other side. Also, make sure you attack their MLB. He has lost a step big time and can't cover or tackle. I think he's coming back from Achilles surgery so he is running really gingerly. Also, their safety plays literally 40 yards back and you can throw bullshit passes in front of him all day. Also, their WLB is coming off three ACL surgeries so don't worry about him coming after you."

Peyton: "Thanks bro. This will really help me gameplan against them!!"

Fast forward to Sunday about 1:15. Broncos have the ball for the first time and Peyton see's our defense in person for the first time.

Peyton: "WTF is this poo?"

Proceeds to get sack-fumbled by GHB on the first play, and Kuechly runs it back for a TD.

Here is the thing. I like to stay classy, if possible. Once you have your opponent beat, work the clock, get out healthy and with the win. In this game....fug it. If you're up 21 points, you damn well best be trying to get to 28. Whatever is working, run it for 60 minutes, balls to the wall. Statement time. Beat Denver and do so convincingly, and the talk regarding the team on ESPN and other media will suddenly change.
